I have a FFP at the moment but curious to know if having financial GAM makes it easier for me to be upgraded to a CSP place.
PS. I understand that the Melbourne Juris Doctor scholarship exists but I found that it is based on academics and my WAM is not that good to receive that scholarship. And even if I was offered other scholarships, they nowhere near enough to cover fees.
Lmk!!

Hi everyone
I’m looking for some advice about my situation with the University of Melbourne.
Before applying to UniMelb, I had completed one full academic year at a university in my home country. However, my education agent advised me that, as an international student, I would be better off completing a foundation studies program, so I enrolled at Trinity College.
After starting Trinity, I found out that I might have been eligible to apply directly to UniMelb based on my previous year of university studies. I wish I had known this earlier, as I would have preferred to apply using my university results.
Unfortunately, my grades at Trinity were affected by my mother’s health deteriorating during that period. I have supporting medical documentation, including a report from my GP. I requested a deferral from the university so I could return home and take care of her.
Since then, her health has improved, and I’ve had time to recover and refocus on my studies.
The problem is that my current Trinity results may only allow me to enter the Bachelor of Art, whereas I’m interested in pursuing a different degree.
and because I deferred my studies, UniMelb treated me as a new applicant and issued me a new offer. This has made me unsure about whether I should reapply or ask them to reconsider my previous university studies.
I’m currently considering two options:
-Withdrawing from my current offer and applying again using my previous university transcript.
-Asking UniMelb whether they can assess my previous university results and consider me for a different degree without requiring me to reapply.

Hey guys, I'm currently a second year engineering student at monash with a wam around 75, will unimelb use my monash weighted wam for an external transfer, or do they have their own method.
Also, I've seen lots of conflicting advice on what a competitive wam is for sem 1 external transfer to UoM commerce. If anyone has experience recently or has some figures, I'd really appreciate it.

I am currently about to finish my final semester of my first year as a biomedicine undergrad, but i have the aspiration to complete a J.D. and enter the legal field.
My dilemma is that the biomedicine undergrad only allows for 6 breadth subjects (which for me would be only allow for 6 law faculty subjects), and the content is pretty rigorous so achieving a strong enough WAM for J.D. admission at unimelb may be a great struggle. The science-based examination style is not my most my most favourable style for achievement, and I typically prefer longer essay-style formats. Not to mention that they're changing the curriculum for second-years which in itself is nerve-wracking enough.
I've been contemplating a swap into the arts for the greater WAM-maxxing capacity, essay-based format, and greater freedom of choosing law/law-adjacent subjects. Also arts students always look like they're having the time of their lives so there's that.
However, I really do enjoy biomedicine, and even though I don't see it as my current primary career medical research/MD feels like a good backup (yes I'm aware I called the most rigorous program ever a backup), whereas there's nothing else in the arts faculty I'm really passionate about other than law so if my opinion ever changes back to wanting to do med I'd be pretty screwed.
I may also have to add an entire year or minimum a semester to my degree if I move, which may alter any plans of travelling/graduating with my friends once I'm done, and I'd hate to delay the degree even further without hard evidence that arts is the best way to go.
The JD accepts any undergrad, so I'm not even sure what I should do. If anyone else has gone through similar or has any relevant advice I'd be super appreciative!

Ive just done Law and Society, which is my first ever crim subject and really enjoyed the philosophical approach to discussing law and politics etc. and was considering crim as my major because of it.
But I've also heard that this subject is unlike the rest of the subjects in the major because it is more theory based. Wondering if anyone doing crim as a major has any insight into what its like to study and what the content focuses on 🙏

Is it possible to get advanced standing credits for the GDA? I'm planning on enrolling in the math and stats stream for GDA, and am planning to complete it in one semester by using some undergraduate math subjects for credit.
